Industry Minister: Businesses Want Hybrid Cars Exempted from Odd-Even Rule
Published
The Minister of Industry (Menperin) has revealed that many businesspeople are very interested in hybrid cars. They hope this type of vehicle could receive an exemption from the odd-even traffic rule on the roads.
The odd-even rule is a traffic regulation that restricts motor vehicles based on the last digit of their license plate number. The rule applies in several major cities, including Jakarta, on certain days and at certain times. Its aim is to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. Hybrid cars combine a petrol engine with an electric motor, so they are often considered more environmentally friendly than ordinary petrol-powered cars.
This proposal shows strong interest from industry circles in hybrid vehicles. However, further details about the proposal, including whether and when this policy will be implemented, are not yet available in the current information.
Discussion of this policy is important for vehicle owners and the public in big cities. Readers are advised to keep following official information from the government to learn of the latest developments.
